Halloween

We had a very fun Halloween. Micah was Bob the Builder. He loved wearing his work hat and tool belt.

The first event Micah wore his costume to was his daycare party. I must say it was a little over the top. Mainly the food. They sat down to snacks and had a cookie, a cupcake, a brownie, and jello jigglers. I was beginning to wonder when they were going to stop bringing out the treats. But Micah did have fun and enjoyed every bite. Probably because he rarely gets sweets at home. The kids then played some easy games where they won little prizes. Micah loved the spider rings.

Then they had a pinata. Micah did a great job swinging and hitting it. He loved picking up the candy. Oh course, the pinata never holds enough candy so Lori passed out to everyone an extra bag of candy. Just what we needed. We absolutely love Micah's daycare and are thrilled that he loves going everyday. Lori and Jim make every day special so on holidays I'll be sure to come to the over the top fun parties that they have.

Then, for Halloween we first went to the carnival that was out here in the Ranchos. Micah loved going through the blow-up obstacle course. After that we headed into Fresno to go to our church carnival. Following that we headed into the neighborhood around our church to do a bit of trick- or-treating. We went with our good friends, the Isaacs. Micah thought it was the most exciting thing. He said trick-or-treat over and over until the person put the candy in his bucket. Then he would say more trick-or-treat, more trick-or-treat.

The week of Halloween we carved 4 pumpkins on 4 different night because Micah thought it was so much fun. The first pumpkin didn't make it till the end for the final picture. Micah wanted Mike from Monsters Inc. He also wanted a robot pumpkin, which we made from Micah's green pumpkin. The last pumpkin we made was a sad pumpkin because we looked all around the Ranchos for a sad one and never found one. So Micah wanted a sad pumpkin. Are you noticing a pattern. We made whatever Micah wanted. He had a blast.
